Hydrogenation of arenes is an important reaction not only for hydrogen storage and transport but also for the synthesis of functional molecules such as pharmaceuticals and biologically active compounds. Here, we describe the development of heterogeneous Rh-Pt bimetallic nanoparticle catalysts for the hydrogenation of arenes with inexpensive polysilane as support. The catalysts could be used in both batch and continuous-flow systems with high performance under mild conditions and showed wide substrate generality. In the continuous-flow system, the product could be obtained by simply passing the substrate and 1 atm H2 through a column packed with the catalyst. Remarkably, much higher catalytic performance was observed in the flow system than in the batch system, and extremely strong durability under continuous-flow conditions was demonstrated (>50 days continuous run; turnover number >3.4 × 105). Furthermore, details of the reaction mechanisms and the origin of different kinetics in batch and flow were studied, and the obtained knowledge was applied to develop completely selective arene hydrogenation of compounds containing two aromatic rings toward the synthesis of an active pharmaceutical ingredient.

Heterogeneous catalysts based on rhodium nanoparticles and first- and second-generation poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers crosslinked with hexamethylene diisocyanate have been synthesized. It has been found that catalyst samples with a particle size of 0.88 to 1.96 nm, depending on the PAMAM dendrimer generation, are effective in the hydrogenation of phenol, hydroquinone, resorcinol, and pyrocatechol (85°C, 30 atm O2, 2 h). In phenol hydrogenation, the selectivity for cyclohexanone is 100%. Cyclohexanone has not undergone further transformation under the reaction conditions. The main products of dihydroxybenzene hydrogenation have been trans-cyclohexanediols, with their proportion decreasing in the order: resorcinol > hydroquinone > pyrocatechol. The selectivity has been found to be 100% for 1,3-cyclohexanediol, 97-99% for 1,4-cyclohexanediol, and 33-91% for 1,2-cyclohexanediol. The catalysts based on the second-generation dendrimer have shown a high activity in dihydroxybenzene hydrogenation (TOF of 6600 to 35000 h-1).

(Chemical Equation Presented) Two sequential intramolecular carbon-hydrogen insertion or cyclopropanation reactions of bis-diazoacetates using chiral dirhodium(II) carboxamidate catalysts are reported. The initial metal carbene transformation forms an excess of one enantiomer that with the second transformation further enhances stereocontrol (kinetic amplification). Diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity for product formation are controlled by the catalyst.
